Expert Solution
Step 1 Charges apply electrostatic force on each other

Charges apply electrostatic force on each other which is non-contact force, that is it does not require to be in contact, 

Each charge has its own electric field, which is described by electric field lines.

for a positive charge, the electric field is in the outward direction

for a  negative charge, the electric field is the inward direction

It is given that the charge at 'o' is negative and the charge of the line is positive,

it means that the electric field line will go from the line to that point 'o'.
